The University of Texas at
Arlington

The high energy physics group at UTA is
involved in three main research areas: (1) The ATLAS
experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
(2) The LBNE
and ORKA
neutrino experiments at Fermilab (3) The future
International Linear Collider (ILC). UTA
has played major roles in both hardware and
computing/software in ATLAS for more than 15
years. In 2012 ATLAS and CMS announced the
discovery of a Higgs
boson-like particle that completes the theoretical
framework known as the "Standard
Model" in elementary particle physics.
